The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Question Any Blackberry users?

Well as my T-mobile Sidekick 3 is on its last legs I decided to go ahead and order a Blackberry Curve from Sprint....
Just looking for suggestions on good apps...
I don't need any music, sound or telephone apps, but interested in any others (paid or freeware) if anyone has suggestions for good or useful apps or apps to avoid that totally suck

I had a blackberry but do not currently have one but am thinking about making the switch back to the Storm with Verizon.

As far as I am concerned Crackberry is the best source for everything blackberry.

I have heard nothing but good things about the curve. referred to as blackberry's powerhouse phone.

If you do get a blackberry, just make sure you back up your contacts, and all other information regularly, I use MS Outlook to sync.

My Curve crashes about once a month, my buddies Storm crashes alot more often than that.

I love my blackberry

I have the blackberry pearl with wifi (free calling)

Most important thing is never take pics and save them to phone memory- always save it to your external memory card. Blackberry's need alot of memory to run right and if you run low- itll automatically start erasing things to free up space. Your texts/call log/email will all slowly get erased.

Mine has never crashed since i got it and i have had mine for a year.

Very solid phone IMO.

Yes always keep your phone backed up and synced with outlook or something to that of nature?

Blackberry Bold here, AT&T, had it about a month now.

Best paid app I've seen so far is iCallManager. Lets me choose to receive calls from only numbers in my phone book, or to take calls from only certain numbers, or to not take calls from unknown/blocked numbers. So if I haven't chosen to takes calls as above, the calls just get routed to voicemail without the phone ringing.

Best free app is Beyond411, which is a yellow pages/white pages/google search all in one.

Only problem I've had with the phone itself is rebooting because of a loose battery. Fixed by wedging a little folded piece of paper on top of the battery.

I like my Blackberry curve. It sometimes freezes, but a simple remove the batt. and it resets. The track ball likes to stick. Other than that I love it.
